Kevin, Dean 2007 Journal San Marcos area, Depto San Marcos, Guatemala (cont.) Aug. 14 ...the roadbank with lights from 19:00-19:40, I got 2 adult P. rex, and Ted got 1 P. rex and 2 adult B. reistrei. It was cold and rainy, so conditions were good. Some guards from the local village stopped us and called the police. More locals showed up; got angry, and some threatened us and called us liars. They were upset that we were out at night and that we didn't ask permission in town to search. The situation was tense, but I eventually talked them into letting us go. The police eventually arrived, checked our permit and let us leave. We got back to San Marcos at 10:30pm. Volcan Chicabal, Depto. Quetzaltenango, Guatemala Aug. 15 We left San Marcos in the morning and drove to Volcan Chicabal. We hiked up to the crater and searched in rotten logs from 12:15-14:35. Once again, conditions seemed perfect and there were plenty of good logs, but we got no salamanders. We found 2 Bufo on the path around the lake. We walked down and drove to the village of Las Tunas, 19km by road from Cobanla. We searched in a canyon where Ted, Dave and Mark saw a Bolitoglossa sp. last year. We looked under cover objects for ~10 min and then searched in Bromeliads for ~20 min. Some kids came along and told us they see the salamanders mostly on the ground, and we got 4 of them to look. Immediately, the eldest one, Luis Ramirez Mendez, found a big adult female Bolitoglossa in some leaf litter on the slope above the road.
